Brighter futures for child laborers

Child labor is illegal in India—yet more than 10 million girls and boys are currently engaged in the workforce. At the Don Bosco Center in Passor (Pasahaur) India, Salesian missionaries are making a transformative difference in their lives.

Precious girls and boys who toil in the dangerous nearby brickfields of Passor receive reprieve, nutritious meals and the chance to just be kids. Older children can participate in basic lessons that prepare them for future education. And parents can tap into holistic services, such as access to basic daily necessities and medicine, that can help their families take the first important steps out of poverty.

Your support makes a real difference for real children. And your generosity extends far beyond Passor! Wherever endemic poverty forces girls and boys to work instead of go to school, you help our Salesian missionaries advocate for—and work toward—change, one child at a time.
